The PACE Awards

PACE is the region’s most respected recognition program for apartment communities. It’s more than an award — it’s a performance benchmark, a morale booster, and a powerful marketing tool. Anticipated to attract 200+ properties in 2026, PACE honors only truly exceptional communities — with just one winner per category.

Why Enter PACE

  Energize Your Team:  Entering PACE sends a clear message: We see you. We value you. You’re award-worthy. Few initiatives boost morale, accountability, and pride like preparing for a surprise PACE visit.

  Increase Occupancy & Visibility: Each winning property receives a professional case study featured on PMA’s website. Winners can leverage their profile in advertising, social media, and leasing materials to drive prospective residents.

  Benchmark Against the Best: PACE establishes clear standards for operational excellence.
If a category does not meet minimum scoring standards, no award is given. That’s how seriously we take excellence.

  Stand Out in a Competitive Market: Only one award is presented in each category. When you win, you truly stand alone.
